Also known with the name of “Onions’ Fair”, it represents the traditional meeting ground for the Spoleto population.
Granted in 1598 by pope Clement VIII, it originally used to take place on 21 Aprile; in its occasion, special benefits and immunities were universally allowed, save for bandits and rebels. In 1664 it was postponed to 13 June, St. Anthony’s feast, maintaining all privileges.
Its dates in modern times are 8 and 9 September, the day of the Virgin’s nativity; it is not known when these dates were established.
It is Spoleto’s biggest fair, where you can find all kinds of products, including (but not limited to) clothing, gastronomy, houseware and the most diverse gifts and knick-knacks.
